After a large wind-driven fire destroyed much of the village of White Horse in September 1913, the Salisbury Township Fire Company #1 was formed in January 1914 to provide fire protection to the area. Emergency Medical Services were added in March 1958. Today, 105 years later, as the White Horse Fire Company, we are a 100% VOLUNTEER Fire & EMS company providing "24/7/365" service out of our station in the village of White Horse, to Salisbury Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as well as surrounding communities through mutual aid in Lancaster, Chester, & Berks Counties...."Neighbors Helping Neighbors"

We staff two engines, a tanker, a utility/brush unit, and two basic life support ambulances.

At 1:44 PM on August 7, Engine 49-1 was alerted to transfer to Honey Brook Station 33, while Station 33 was assisting the Twin Valley Fire Department (Station 69) on a working commercial building fire in Elverson Borough.

Upon making the response, Engine 49-1 was requested to make the response to the building fire. After making the response to Elverson Borough, Engine 49-1's crew was assigned to the manpower pool and the crew assisted with operations.
